Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

City Slicker or Country Bumpkin?—Distinguishing Urban and Rural Residents From Subtle Facial Cues

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stereotypes characterize urban and rural residents as differing in traits, values and social outcomes. Here, we examined how people's stereotypes about urban and rural residents differ, testing their validity using a lens model. Results showed that participants detected whether people resided in urban or rural areas from photos across three ...

Exploring the role of apolipoprotein ε4 in progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1 (EPM1) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by biallelic variants in the cystatin B (CSTB) gene. Despite a progressive course, phenotype severity varies among patients, even within families. We studied the potential role of APOE ε4 in modifying phenotypic diversity in EPM1, given its established

Altered neurostructural development in magnetic resonance imaging‐negative pediatric epilepsy: A large‐scale multicenter study of 1919 children

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Addressing the poorly understood impact of pediatric epilepsy on neurodevelopment, this large‐scale study delineates age‐ and sex‐stratified neurostructural trajectories in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐negative pediatric epilepsy to identify periods of maximal developmental divergence from healthy controls.

Pre‐Treatment Fear of Weight Gain Is Associated With Engagement in a Greater Degree of Pre‐Treatment Maladaptive Exercise Among Individuals With Binge‐Spectrum Eating Disorders

open access: yesEuropean Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Individuals with binge‐spectrum eating disorders (EDs) engage in varying degrees of maladaptive and adaptive exercise. Elevated shape/weight concern is associated with engagement in maladaptive and adaptive exercise. No research has examined whether specific facets of shape/weight concern (e.g., fear of weight gain) are associated ...

Research on Precise Identification of Rock Strength Based on Bolt Drilling Parameters

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Drilling detection test platform. ABSTRACT During roadway excavation, the presence of weak interlayers and fractured rock masses significantly affects roof stability. To achieve timely and effective roadway support, it is crucial to identify and predict different rock types based on drilling signals from roof bolters.

Performance Monitoring of Photovoltaic Modules Using Machine‐Learning‐Based Solutions: A Survey of Current Trends

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents the concept of applying machine‐learning algorithms to assess the performance of photovoltaic modules. Data from solar panels are fed to surrogates of intelligent models, to assess the following performance metrics: identifying faults, quantifying energy production and trend degradation over time. The combination of data
